Easter has come and gone. We had a great time over the weekend because we had our friend, Eassa, visit us from Philly. He is our Egyptian friend that we met when we visited Egypt two years ago. We have continued our friendship via the telephone, e-mail, facebook and now, face to face. It was sooooo wonderful finally seeing him visit us in our home in America. We attended a Good Friday church service at Northwoods, had Easter dinner and an egg hunt on Saturday and attended Easter service on Sunday at Dan and I's church. He is a Coptic Christian which is christianity that has been around since Moses walked. His whole family are christians. We had a great time rejoicing the Lord's rising on that day! One of the best things he told me: "I always have said I would marry a Christian Egyptian Woman and now I know I can also marry a Christian Peoria Illinois woman"! LOL He was really impressed with how many people attended church in this area, but it was also his first time getting out of Philly into the "country" you could say. Overall, our weekend was fantastic and we look forward to many more celebrations with Eassa!
